|    The Daily Purge: Atheist Scient and The     |

      From: andronicus451@gmail.com              To explain, I believe that in this Universe there are not too many choices for       efficient       and elegant algorithms, just as there are not too many choices of fundamental       constants       like mass of electron, electron charge, gravitational pull etc. that would       still enable       lives.              Here is the human ingenuity discovering those algorithms just like Nikola       Tesla discovered       rotating magnetic field and multiphase electric current. But he said he saw it       in a vision       while reciting Faust.              This does not mean that the origin of AC electric current is from Lucifer       while thunders       are evidently from God as numerous Scriptures confirm:              "When Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, the LORD sent thunder and       hail, and       lightning flashed down to the ground." (Exodus 9:23).              I am certain that the Intelligent Designer designed electricity and magnetism       such that       rotating electromagnetic field works (example: natural spherical       thunderbolts), much       rather than believing that Tesla's spirit and soul were caught in the       worldwide high       voltage power grids.              So do I believe that the silicon is Intelligently Designed by the Creator so       that       transistors and microchips can be made efficiently.              I don't believe that Alchemy, Black Magic and Satanism helped man make       microchips and       transistors, but this still has to be proven. For certain, the properties of       God-created       matter are not from Satan, even if it is "strange matter".              In the Book of Enoch, angels have given the forbidden knowledge and technology       to mankind,       and this is my first source of inspiration with the technological development       (that angels       of God possess those technological knowledges, and Lucifer is just a fallen       one).              Also, in Greek mythology it is attributed to Hermes and not to demons. So I       believe       that the connection of Satan and technology is a consequence of Medieval       superstition       which connected science with heresy and magic, that brought back mankind for       thousand       of years after the Roman civilisation fell, primarily due to decadence.              This caused people to seek wisdom through occult and rebellion from God,       unlike in the       Islamic science that was believed to glorify Almighty Allah by discovering His       secrets.              There was a great progress in astronomy in Islamic science in the period up to       12th       century, while in Europe it was almost occult and forbidden, but then       something happened,       and Islam fell behind in scientific development, up to the present day.              (Discussion of end of the golden age of Islam is beyond the scope of this       article,       and it is left to historians.)              Book of Enoch, Chapter VIII       "And Azâzêl taught men to make swords, and knives, and shields, and       breastplates, and       made known to them the metals 〈of the earth〉 and the art of working them,       and bracelets,       and ornaments, and the use of antimony, and the beautifying of the eyelids,       and all kinds       of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures. 2. And there arose much       godlessness, and       they committed fornication, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in       all their ways.       Semjâzâ taught enchantments, and root-cuttings, Armârôs the resolving of       enchantments,       Barâqîjâl, [paragraph continues] (taught) astrology, Kôkabêl the       constellations, Ezêqêêl       the knowledge of the clouds, 〈Araqiêl the signs of the earth, Shamsiêl the       signs of the       sun, and Sariêl the course of the moon."              While it is clear that technology brought corruption before the Great Deluge,       or it       wouldn't happen at the hands of the loving God Almighty, it is not clear       whether       the serving angels did some technological provision for the righteous, much       like they       did supernatural provision for Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham.              It is clear, for example, that breeding flock in the colour Jacob owned was       supernatural,       but it was not black magic or it wouldn't be in the Holy Bible (Genesis       30:31-43).              Likewise, the problem with the technology might be the vector used to receive       it, without       the Creator's blessing and outside of His will.              If it is received through occult and Satan, it might not be blessed even if       God Creator       created blessed matter with those properties, and it will bring misery and       decadence.              Sometimes God blesses technology later, by the grace, and mankind learns the       ethics       of certain technologies, bringing regulation, laws and the rules of engagement.              This is done by the grace of God, or corrupt technology would cause the demise       of       mankind, which God postpones for the sake of the elect, so that none of the       righteous       would be destroyed with the wicked.              * * *              Like in mathematics, where there are certain numbers we cannot arbitrarily       choose like       𝝅 (pi), e, golden ratio, ...; like in physics, where we cannot arbitrarily       choose       mass of electron or charge of photon, so I believe that in designing       algorithms we       must obey certain laws of design that are preordained or they will simply not       be elegant,       but bloated or buggy.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
